Another year is wrapping up. We’re mere hours away from 2019, and thus, we’re looking back on what the last 12 months have given us in the gaming world.
Back in July, Steam gave an update on the best selling games through the mid-point of the year. Now that 2018 is coming to a close, it’s released a list of the year’s top 100 best selling games.
Technical presentations recently published by Polyphony Digital engineers have given us a fascinating look at the work that goes on behind the scenes at the secretive development studio.
Bruce McLaren took his maiden win for his own team in June 1968. Driving an M7A, McLaren became only the third ever driver to win an F1 race in their own car. That race, at Spa-Francorchamps, was the first step for a team that would go on to win 20 F1 driver and constructor titles to date.
Last year, Eden Games brought its mobile racer, Gear.Club Unlimited, to the Switch at a time when Nintendo’s platform desperately needed some racing representation.
If you want to own a piece of Gran Turismo history, now’s your chance. At the upcoming Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, the Art Morrison Enterprises (AME) 3G Corvette will cross the block. This makes it a perfect candidate for this week’s Want.
GTPlanet’s editorial team recently spent a week in Monaco and, although most of our time was taken up by the FIA-Certified GT Sport World Finals, there was a little downtime too. After all, who wants to work on a Sunday morning, with all that Mediterranean sunshine beaming down?

Even though the GT Academy’s days may be over (Lucas Ordoñez, the original winner, officially parted ways with Nissan earlier this month), Nissan remains heavily involved with Polyphony Digital and the Gran Turismo franchise.
Purchasing a vehicle has never been easier than it is today. You simply go to Google, type in what you’re looking for, and you end up with a mountain of information. So what are people searching for? To find out, the insurance company Veygo conducted a study.
Over the past few months, Polyphony Digital observers have enjoyed a few peaks behind the curtain of the traditionally secretive software company. Back in September, Polyphony engineers published technical presentations that offered a look into how Gran Turismo Sport was built and other experimental projects they are working on.
Sebring International Raceway – one of the most iconic endurance racing venues in the world. It’s a track that is famed for its brutal, bumpy and unforgiving nature. It also played host to the first round of the new iELMS season, much to the dismay of my poor wrist.
While 2018 may be winding down, the racing game news keeps on coming. Studio 397 bookends the year with the release of the “GT3 Challengers Pack” for rFactor 2.
